Summary/Abstract: The countries that are addressing today's societies, whether caused by crises such as the multi-dimensional health crisis that erupted at the end of 2019 or caused by other events, have become a real concern. The reseminence of communities to any kind of aggression depends largely on the rules they are guided by, but also on their ability to adapt each field of activity to new realities. Each subsystem of the social system, such as the medical system, the education system or the economic system, is governed by the law system, which incorporates the general rules governing each of them. The legal system in general and criminal law, together with criminal sciences, must provide the conditions for respect for the main social values even in times of crisis. The clearer the rule of law system and the clearer it has the capacity to quickly and after unsound procedures to create fair and predictable laws that respond to crises, the more social system in general will gain greater societal resilience. Societal resilience is one of the main attributes of society that can make it more resilient and adaptable to any threats. This can best protect it from a potential increase in crime in crisis situations, provided that clear, predictable and fair laws are generated.
